Chapter 936: Uninvited Guests
As for Xv Zhina, Lin Tian was only interested in her beautiful face; there was nothing else remarkable about her.
After shutting down the computer, Lin Tian snuggled back into bed, holding a lovely woman who felt as soft and fragrant as jade, and slept comfortably.
The next morning, Lin Tian was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing.
Being disturbed from a sweet dream is really annoying, but when Lin Tian saw that the caller ID was ’mother-in-law,’ he put aside his irritation and answered the call.
"Hey, Lin Tian, it’s already eight o’clock, are you still sleeping?"
Lin Tian let out an awkward laugh and said, "Yeah, I went to bed quite late last night."
After hearing this, Yan Xinrou giggled, "I know you two are working hard on the baby-making plan, but you need to take it easy. Qingcheng has a delicate constitution, you need to take good care of her."
As expected, his mother-in-law’s fierce personality hadn’t changed at all.
Lin Tian didn’t know how to respond, so he just kept agreeing.
"By the way, last night... how long did you..."
"Huh?"
"I mean, how much time?"
"Um... I didn’t really count," Lin Tian said awkwardly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable discussing such a private matter with his mother-in-law.
Yan Xinrou laughed again, "Look at you, still shy. I didn’t mean anything by it, didn’t you mention you have some old prescriptions that boost men’s stamina?"
"Huh?" Lin Tian was momentarily stunned before he replied, "Yeah, I do..."
"Then tell me the prescription later, I’ll brew some for your dad," Yan Xinrou said with a laugh. Having experienced life, she talked about such topics without hesitation or embarrassment.
"Okay." Lin Tian agreed and then asked, "Mom, is there anything else?"
"Oh, right, there is indeed something else, there’s a handsome man looking for you, he’s in our living room right now," Yan Xinrou said nonchalantly.
"Handsome man?"
"Yes, the one who’s been quite the sensation recently, the one who challenged Mr. Zhao." Yan Xinrou explained.
Lin Tian scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Why is he here?"
"I don’t know, he wouldn’t tell me anything, just said he was looking for you."
Lin Tian nodded to himself and said, "Let him wait a bit, I’ll wash up and be down soon."
After hanging up the phone, the corners of Lin Tian’s mouth curled up, thinking to himself, "I didn’t even go looking for you, and you came to me on your own."
Just as Lin Tian was about to get out of bed, Liou Qingcheng, who lay beside him like a well-behaved kitten, asked, "Is it Hua Dongxu?"
Lin Tian nodded, "Yes, it’s him, but I don’t know why he came to see me."
"Whatever the reason, it’s definitely not good," Liou Qingcheng slightly frowned, saying weakly, "This person hasn’t done anything good since coming to our Celestial Dragon Continent. I don’t like him, and you should be careful."
Lin Tian smiled, then kissed her forehead and replied, "Don’t worry, who do you think is more cunning, me or him?"
Liou Qingcheng didn’t hesitate before laughing, "It’s definitely you, you’re the world’s biggest scoundrel."
After exchanging a few words of affection with Liou Qingcheng, Lin Tian got dressed, washed up in the bathroom, and headed downstairs.
"How about Qingcheng?" Yan Xinrou asked, "Wouldn’t she still be sleeping?"
Lin Tian nodded, answering her question affirmatively.
Since the festival of joy, Yan Xinrou and Liou Zhengming had developed a habit of morning exercise, getting up at six o’clock. Now that it was almost nine, they naturally thought it was late.
"Moderation! Moderation!" Yan Xinrou quietly advised Lin Tian at his ear.
Lin Tian nodded, amused and helpless.
"Alright, I won’t nag you any longer, just make sure you let me have a grandchild soon," Yan Xinrou said, "Oh, and that Hua Dongxu is in the living room, go entertain him yourself. I have some business at the company today and need to head out."
"Okay." Lin Tian nodded.
Yan Xinrou was a very easygoing person, as could be seen from her usual way of handling things. As the head of the Yan Family, she basically skipped work every day unless something important came up that required her to go to the company.
This seemed rather lazy, but Lin Tian didn’t like it much because... he’d rather be a hands-off manager like himself now.
After seeing Yan Xinrou off, Lin Tian returned to the living room.
In the living room, there were two people sitting: one was Hua Dongxu in a black suit. As for the other person, he appeared to be around fifty, wearing a coat, dressed appropriately and looked quite tidy.
Lin Tian had met all the members from Xiaocheng Medical College, and with his photographic memory, he knew he had no impression of the middle-aged man in front of him at all.
Upon seeing Lin Tian, both Hua Dongxu and the middle-aged man stood up and extended their hands for a handshake.
"Let me introduce you," Hua Dongxu stepped back a bit and said to Lin Tian, "This is Dr. Han Ze, the head of the Neurology Department at Xiaocheng University Hospital."
Han Ze smiled at Lin Tian and said, "I’ve heard of you, Mr. Lin Tian, the distinguished traditional medicine practitioner from Celestial Dragon Continent."
"Haha, what’s so distinguished about me? Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." After a modest remark, Lin Tian said, "No need for formalities, both of you please sit down. What will you have to drink? Soda or coffee?"
"Let’s have tea," Hua Dongxu said, "I quite admire the richness of culture here on Celestial Dragon Continent."
"Haha, really? Then be born as a Celestial Dragon Continent person in your next life, you speak the language quite well," Lin Tian said with a laugh.
Hua Dongxu waved his hand with a smile, "No, thank you. While your Celestial Dragon Continent is vast and resourceful, Xiaocheng is not bad either. Home is always the most beautiful place, isn’t it?"
Lin Tian smiled but didn’t respond.
In response to Hua Dongxu’s request, Lin Tian took out a bag of top-quality White Hair Silver Needle from under the coffee table, placed some into the teapot, and after a series of tea-brewing movements, he served two cups of hot tea to his guests.
Han Ze picked up the teacup, downed it in one gulp, then shook his head and smiled, "I’m still not used to your country’s tea, but the tea-brewing process is quite impressive."
Lin Tian smiled without saying anything, while Hua Dongxu explained the story behind sipping the tea in three sips.
After some small talk, Lin Tian said, "Alright you two, now that we’ve enjoyed the tea, can we talk about what brings you here today? If you say you came for the tea, I won’t believe it."
"Haha... Mr. Lin Tian, you really are humorous," Hua Dongxu laughed twice, then turned serious, saying, "Actually, Dr. Han Ze and I are here with a humble request, hoping Mr. Lin Tian can agree."
Lin Tian squinted slightly, took a sip of tea, and said noncommittally, "Let’s hear it."
